INFORMATION
Trans Time is the only supplier of fresh meat and fish in the 23rd century. Arthur Raymond is the Company Chairman.
The company motto is: time is money. Pay is docked if an employee catches less than the average ration of Flesh. Catching more does not earn a bonus.

Time travel is expensive and hazardous to health, travellers are required to take 'Time-Pills' daily.

One in three Trans Time employees has a serious accident. Any employee found in breach of discipline will face the laser lash. The Golden Rule of Dinosaur hunting is: if in doubt, get out.
